A tasty breakfast is fuel for the body to start the day with.
Everyone knows how much I like the early mornings. I love to sit at my window in the kitchen with my fresh cup of coffee. My favorite breakfast to make for guests is baked eggs, bacon on the side, huckleberry coffeecake, my canned pears, and coffee in abundance. When I have my sister and brother in law up for breakfast this is what I like to do. Of course the table has to be set special with the fall colors. This is fun for me and special for them.
After breakfast we take a walk out in the garden to see what is still growing. We have a new crop of winter heirloom peas about 6 inches tall and also purple and green savoy cabbage. The pumpkins have been cut and the largest one is close to 75 lbs. The colors are so vibrant.
My sister is afraid of my 25 hens, (they all come running to us when they hear my voice). It is a little alarming if you are not expecting this. Of course, I love it and talk right to them. So goes the day.
We have a very relaxing slow day just catching up on the latest family news.
I would like to know what your favorite thing is this time of the year.
my favorite things this time of year- our new "crop" of Hereford calves, fresh from the garden ripe and red tomatoes, apple & pear picking and the tasty reward of those labors, the homemade fragrance of applesauce and apple butter cooking, the scent of sawdust and the satisfaction of a hefty wood pile after wood cutting together as a family, the smell of "fall" in the air- crisp- cool- damp- with a hint of smoke from the first wood fires laid in our neighbors' fireplaces or wood stoves, the sights of fallen leaves and the way light plays on colored leaves....hot coffee tastes so good on a chilly Fall morning..and tortilla soup- hot and slightly spicy goes down easy on a cold night
